Just bought a used S2000 (2000) and I've got some plans for it. I want to regularly autocross the car and take it for the occasional track day at limerock, montreal, or mont tremblant. I currently work at KTR-Performance in MA and will be heavily modifiying the car. The end goal is to have a 400 HP turbo system on the car and adjustable sway bars and Moton 2-Ways for a suspension setup. The first modification I will be doing is a custom sheet metal intake with raised velocity stacks and a custom throttle body. Hopefully I can make these parts available for sale and maybe even produce a kit eventually. Ill keep you updated with pictures of my progress as i go.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments I'd love to here what parts you guys are interested in, or any specific information i should know before i get started.

I am the tuner here at KTR and am particularly experienced with the Motec 400-800 series and the AEM EMS although i have plenty of experience with other ECU's.

i think it fits pretty well... anyway the first mod will be an oil pan (the one sold on this site). Followed by an SCCA legal roll bar and 4pt harness. After that the real fun starts. Ill be looking for an AEM 30-1052U along with an injector driver box. After that ill be working on an intake which i will design in solid works.... screen shots and pictures to follow. In the meantime if anyone has an either of those AEM units they are looking to sell or now of a cheap one somewhere let me know!

were not an AEM dealer
